Hey everyone! So the idea behind this story is that I start each new chapter with a letter of the alphabet. Each chapter will be a stand-alone oneshot. I hope you enjoy it and I'd just like to say the the three scenes within this chapter are totally unconnected. They all happen at totally different times and the only thing they have in common is the dating site, All Right Amore.
Pairings in this chapter: Kemy (KenXAmy) and Maltara (MalXNatara)
Enjoy!
All Right Amore
Once Ted Winters finally managed to bring up Amy Chen's profile, there was only one thing left to do.
Without hesitation, he clicked "Shoot Love arrow".
Ted sat back in his chair, smug with satisfaction until he realized that the love arrow hadn't sent.
Scowling, he attempted again to send the arrow. This time, it worked and the confirmation message popped up onscreen.
According to Ms. Chen's profile, she was smart, very smart and she worked with computers.
Beautiful and intelligent, knowing Ted's luck, she was probably conceited and vain. There was no harm in trying though.
Ted's theory was that if someone was using a dating site, they had some trouble in their life.
Ted had just gone through a messy divorce himself that had ended with losing custody of his three kids to his witch of a wife. He had been single now for two months and felt he was ready to move on.
Surely Amy Chen hadn't been through anything too traumatising.
Amy felt like she was floating on air as Ken walked her to her apartment.
Ten minutes and a kiss later, Amy was going upstairs, taking them two at a time.
She should have felt ashamed for moving so fast with Ken, but at that moment, she didn't really care. She had only kissed him after all.
Amy glanced at the clock once she was inside her apartment. It was past midnight but there was no way she could feel tired tonight. After what seemed like forever, Ken had finally asked her out on a date. It was almost too good to be true.
But it wasn't. Amy had gone on her date that night and enjoyed herself despite the near-robbery. She still found it hard to believe that she had managed to knock that guy out with one punch.
She hummed as she set about making a cup of coffee but froze when her laptop beeped. That was funny, Amy vaguely remembered turning it off. She must have forgotten to in the excitement of this evening.
She turned her attention to the laptop that was on the kitchen table. She'd received an email from that dating site, 'All Right Amore'. With a slight frown she opened the message.
"Dear Ms. Chen.
One of Cupid's arrows has found it's way to you!
You have received a love arrow from: Micheal Byrne, an Apollo.
Click here to view Micheal Byrne's profile and to send a love arrow back!
Click here to unsubscribe to our emails."
Amy stared at the screen for a brief moment, then clicked.
A new message popped up.
"You have unsubscribed from our services."
Amy smiled and proceeded to turn off the laptop. The data analyst turned her attention back to her coffee when her phone beeped.
Slightly irritated, Amy picked the slim mobile phone up, wondering if she'd ever get to finish making coffee
"New message from Ken Greene."
Her annoyance dissipated into nothingness as she read Ken's text.
"Hey Ames. Had a great time 2nite. Can't wait 2 c u 2maro."
A wide smile spread over Amy's face. She couldn't imagine ever wanting to unsubscribe from these messages.
One year.
One whole year.
That was how long Mal Fallon had waited to confess his feelings to Natara. Twelve god-damned months and he still hadn't told her.
He had just returned home from the couples retreat fiasco and despite admitting everything he felt for Natara to an insane serial killer, a bunch of other people and Natara herself, she still had no idea.
Mal sat slouched in a black leather armchair, ignoring the film that played on the tv in front of him.
If Ken were here, he would tell Mal to stop being such a drama queen and just tell Natara.
Maybe Mal should forget about Natara for a while and date someone else. Not someone like Minka though. Minka was hot but she was an idiot if Mal was being honest.
What was the name of that dating site that Kai had talked about before.
Something about Amore...
Driven by his curiosity, Mal typed "Amore online dating" into the browser on his phone.
Moments later, he was staring at the colourful homepage of the dating site, All Right Amore.
"Looking for love?
Look no further!
You will be guaranteed to find love with our unique matching system! Are you a Hades? A Persephone? Or perhaps even an Artemis?
What's even better is that our services are totally free. You heard right! Free!
Sign up today!"
Mal's figure hovered over "Sign up" as he mentally debated what to do.
If this site was as good as it was supposed to be, Mal might find someone, maybe even someone who was as good as Natara.
Mal sat there for what seemed like ages, struggling to decide if he should give the damn site a chance.
Eventually, he let his phone fall to the seat.
He had waited an entire year for Natara. He could wait a while longer.
